Best Green Sauce (Grüne Sosse) in Frankfurt (2018), Germany

Picture: Owner/ Chef Willi Kehr of Zum Einhorn, Winner of the Green Sauce Competition 2018

Green Sauce or Grüne Sosse, is a sauce made of 7 specific herbs: parsley, chives, cress, sorrel, chervil, borage, salad burnet, chopped fine, and mixed with a combination of sour cream, yoghurt or creme fraiche, a bit of oil, vinegar, and mustard, salt and pepper and then served over boiled potatoes with 2 hard-boiled eggs.

Grüne Sosse can be a full meal with just the potatoes and the hard-boiled eggs. Frankfurter Schnitzel is a Schnitzel topped with Grüne Sosse. I like Grüne Sosse with roast beef.

You buy the herbs in white paper packets at any food store; they are widely available during the season.

The Winners in the 2018 Contest

Grüne Sosse tastes different in every restaurant as everyone seems to have his/her own recipe for it. Some chop the herbs with a knife, others us a blender or food processor; purists argue that is has to be chopped with a knife. Some also use mayonnaise, which I like, but not the purists. It may often have chopped up eggs in the sauce itself, which I like, but not everybody agrees with me.

The annual contest takes place over the course of a week in a large tent in the center of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, during the month of May. Every day, a day winner is chosen. On the last day, the six day winners compete in the final round for the overall winner and the 2 runners-up.

Lunch at 1 Michelin Star Restaurant Landhaus Feckl in Ehningen, with Chef Franz Feckl and Host Manuela Feckl - Germany-South and Alsace 2018 Tour by ombiasy WineTours: Baden, Alsace, Pfalz and Rheinhessen

Picture: Annette Schiller and Manuela Feckl at Landhaus Feckl

Our first meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant on the 2018 Germany-South/ Alsace wine tour by ombiasy WineTours was at Landhaus Feckl in Ehningen. Since 1987, for 31 years, Owner/ Chef Franz Feckl has been awarded a Michelin star every single year. In terms of comfort, Restaurant Landhaus Feckl has 3 folks in the Michelin Guide 2018, with a special reference to its excellent wine list.

We had a most delicious three-course lunch.

Restaurant Landhaus Feckl

This family-run cozy, rustic-chic Landhaus boasts of an exquisite restaurant. Chef and Owner Franz Feckl is well reputed for his creative ideas to perfectly combine regional Swabian cuisine with cuisines of other regions, i.e. the Mediterranean, Asia, France. His wife Michaela is a charming host.

Franz Feckl started his career as a chef with an apprenticeship at the Jägerhof in Mühldorf am Inn. In 1978, he joined the Tantris team in München for 2 years, first under Star Chef Eckart Witzigmann and later under Star Chef Heinz Winkler, both culinary icons. In 1985, he took over Schloss Höfingen in Leonberg as owner and chef and 2 years later was awared a Michelin star. In 2000, he moved on and opened Landhaus Feckl. There, he continued to be awarded a Michelin star every year for his outstanding cooking ...for 18 years now.

Michelin

Ein MICHELIN Stern: eine Küche voller Finesse – einen Stopp wert! Produkte von ausgesuchter Qualität, unverkennbare Finesse auf dem Teller, auf den Punkt gebrachter Geschmack, ein konstant hohes Niveau bei der Zubereitung.

The Tandem Rambler

...Landhaus Feckl, located in Ehningen, less than 30 km away from Stuttgart is an extraordinary place, not only thanks to their food. A family buisness, this place is ran by people completly devoted to their work, with great passion and commitment. Every guest is treated here not only with great respect but also with kindness which makes all the visitors feel at home. This is the feature we value the most and we are sure that we are not alienated in this opinion. It is a true skill to run such a sophosticated restaurant and serve such a refined food and at the same time make every guest feel at ease, relaxed and so very welcome.

The food served in there is prepared out of fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. The hotel has even a little herb garden on the rooftop. Fine dining at its best!

The staff and the owners of Landhaus Feckl are real professionals, they surely know how to run a buisness, what is a great service and what’s needed to make a restaurant and a hotel extraordinary. They are all very attentive and helpful. I would bet on anything that every guest leaving this place is pleased with their stay as much as we were...

Guided Visit of Burg Hohenzollern

After lunch, en route to Lake Constance, we stopped a Burg Hohenzollern for a guided tour.

The Hohenzollern Castle is the ancestral seat of the Hohenzollern dynasty, from which the German Emperors and kings of Prussia came. The original castle was built in the 11th century, burned down several times, and was finally restored by both branches of the Hohenzollern family in the 19th century. For almost one thousand years it serves as temporary home for the family. It is still owned by the Hohenzollern family and home of Georg Friedrich Prince of Prussia and Sophie Princess of Prussia. The castle sits on a hill high above the town of Hechingen and is visible from afar. Frederick the Great was buried here. After reunification Frederick's casket was moved to Sanssouci in Potsdam and he was finally laid to rest in the terrace of the vineyard of Sanssouci – in the still existing crypt he had built there – in accordance with his will.

The first stop of the 2018 Germany-South/ Alsace wine tour of ombiasy WineTours was in Bensheim, about an hour south of Frankfurt by car, at an up-and-coming Sekt producer, Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit.

Pictures: Arriving at Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit, Bensheim

Not well known outside of its borders, Germany is a sparkling wine country. The Germans love the bubbly stuff. The German market for sparkling wine is the largest in the world, with 1 out of 4 bottles of sparkling wine produced in the world consumed in Germany. Rotkäppchen-Mumm in Freyburg in the Saale-Unstrut region is the world’s second largest sparkling wine producer after Freixenet? Many Champagne Houses in France were founded by Germans, such as Krug, Bollinger, Heidsick, Deutz, Mumm, to name a few. See: French Champagne Houses and German Roots

Pictures: Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit, Bensheim, with Winemaker Niko Brandtner

Sekt ranges from inexpensive entry-level sparkling wine to ultra-premium sparklers made in the
méthode traditionnelle, like Champagne. We visited a producer of ultra-premium sparklers, Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit. Charming Assistant Winemaker Rachele Crosara was our host. We toured the cellar and had a tasting of the Griesel Sekt Portfolio.

Sekt in Germany

Germany is one of the largest sparkling wine markets in the world, which is not well know around the world. Germans drink lot of sparkling wines, although in general less quality-conscious than the French. One out of four bottles of sparkling wine is consumed in Germany, roughly 500 million bottles. Sekt is made in all German wine regions, both in the méthode traditionnelle and charmat method. There are three groups of Sekt makers: (i) large and (ii) smaller Sekt houses, who only make Sekt and (iii) winemakers, who make predominantly wine, but complement their wine selection by a few Sekts. The Sekts produced by large Sekt estates tend to be in the demy-sweet and sweet range, while the Sekts of smaller estates and the wine makers are mostly in the brut and extra brut range.

Pictures: Traditional Hand Riddling and Modern Gyro-palate Machines at Geisel

There is a dozen or so large Sekt houses. Most of these large Sekt houses were established in the 1800s. At that time, there was only one method known to produce Sekt, the méthode traditionnelle. But in contrast to the champagne houses, the large Sekt houses have all moved to the charmat method as main method of the second fermentation after World War II. Like the champagne houses, Sekt houses do not own vineyards, but purchase the base wine from winemakers.

The smaller Sekt houses, like the large Sekt houses, do not own vineyards, but also buy the base wine from winemakers. They also tend to have a long history and often links to the champagne region, beautiful facilities and old cellars for the second fermentation and storage. The big difference is that they typically have not gone the route of tank fermentation but continue to ferment in the méthode traditionnelle.

Pictures: Tasting with Rachele Crosara

Increasingly, there is a number of top quality winemakers, who, in addition, to their still wines, have started to include Sekts in their portfolio. These Sekts are typically vintage Sekts, from a specified vineyard, made of specific grapes, often Riesling, in the méthode champenoise and with little or not dosage (brut or extra but). While the first fermentation typically takes place at the winery, the second fermentation is often not in the cellar of the winemaker but in the cellar of a Sekt house that bottle-ferments for other wineries.

Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit

Griesel&Compagnie, Sekthaus Streit came into existence just a few years ago and already enjoys the highest accolades. In 2013 the Eberbach Abbey winery in Bensheim moved the production to headquartes in the Rheingau and the wonderful old, vaulted cellers under the Griesel mountain became available. Sekthaus Griesel came into existence. Vintner Niko Brandner started from scratch and could configure the Sekthaus exactly according to his knowledge and ideas. 

The April 2018 edition of the Decanter writes about the 2014 Griesel, Blanc de Noirs Brut: “This new discovery is seriously impressive, all the more so given that it’s only this talented producer’s second vintage. Made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it has spent 24 months on lees before being disgorged……”
